What the Horse Racing Nation is saying about Orb...

Orb may not be the immortal everyone thought him to be, but one loss at the hands of a bad post takes nothing away from him. He can still be great.Read More

  • matthewmartini · I'm remember thinking before the race that only two horses had won the Preakness since 1960 from the #1 post. If one is superstitious (and I'm not), one could think that Orb would be in trouble. Despite the post, I felt that if Rosario could get him outside by the second turn that he was going to win. He didn't, he looked bothered on the inside, and tired on top of it. Even if he had been able to get on the outside, I still think that he would not have run down Oxbow. The pace was too slow and Orb's big run in the Derby led to a bounce. And the post didn't help. Itsmylucky day ran better than I had anticipated. · 3 minutes ago ·

  • patrick.l.mccaslin · The preakness was a better distance for Oxbow then the KD, plus he had the one spot at churchill. But I will not be using him or any other horse for that matter, Orb included to finish in the top 3 spots at the Belmont. Horses that have raced in both are going to be at a huge dis advantage going into the Belmont. They have raced twice in the last month and it will show come belmont. Also Oxbow in my opinion cannot go 1-1/2. especially on the front end. So all that have raced in both the KD and Preakness are pitches for me. There will be some well rested ones that will do better in this race! · 22 minutes ago ·

  • clemmbo · Orb is the best three year old, unfortunely these races are about the Trainers,. Lukas had three horses in the Preakness and controlled the Preakness. The number 7 horse came out of the gate and went straight for Orb on the rail..Now the Belmont will have Lukas and Pletcher with eleven horses in theBelmont,I love horse racing , but it has become outa hand. · 1 hour ago ·

with all due respect to orb and his cnnections.he won the derby,no excuses.he will be etched in history alongside many other great horses.but to those that still cannot accept his preakness loss , or are blaming rosario, or the inside trip. i reviewed and watched the replays of the derby and preakness.note in the derby he beat goldencents by 49 lengths.in the preak. he beat him by half a length. he beat oxbow by 10.in the preakness oxbow returned the favor by defeating him convincingly.he beat itsmyluckyday by 22 lengths.IMLD came back to beaat him in the preakness.folks this has nothing to do with blame or excuses.ORB didn't like the derby track,he loved it.the others just simply hated it.so before you try to canonize ORB as the dissapointing super horse.review the facts.he simply ran over a track he handled alot better than the rest.but to his credit and they can never take it away.HE WON THE DERBY.personally i wish he does run in the belmont.he will be a highly overbet horse who because of the number of race in 5 weeks and the facts sted above,will not hit the board.

  • CauseForConcern · Hard to fathom/understand stat: Orb dominated in the Derby, and ran a 2:02.89. In the Preakness, on a fast track, Orb runs a 1:58.84, and the winning time is 1:57.54. Winning times are separated by :05.35, despite the fact that the Preakness is 1/16 of a mile shorter, and the Preakness is run on a fast track vs. a sloppy track. Oh well, bring on the Belmont. Will it be a 2:40, or 2:30 winning time? · 1 hour ago ·

I'm saying Ord won the derby in the mud, the other horses wasn't taking to the mud, he lost the preakness because the other horses were better... my horse pic for the derby was N.I. and I look at the replay too, who was at the top of the streach.....the mud got the best of NORMANDY and Ord will not win the belmont....Steven really put his time into Oxbow, he rode that horse....
With only a few more preps to run, Revolutionary has moved to the top of the list as Zipse's most likely winner of the 2013 Kentucky Derby.Read More

Hey, y'all. I just need to point something out. When he was moving quickly on the inside at the 3/4th, he moved but quickly dropped back again. Did you notice when he moved to the outside part of the racetrack, he picked off colts? It's rare to see a horse break towards the rear, make a sudden move at the 3/4th's, drop back once again to second to last, and than make another move to reach 4th. Something tells me he doesn't like moving on the inside; not to mention the rail was DEAD all of Preakness day.. Just my two cents, I think he is BY FAR the best of this crop. Watch out for him to return with a vegenance in the Belmont and Midsummer classics.

  • bettorthanlucky · @rafi... I agree with you about Orb's race... I think he lacked the agility or perhaps the confidence to fire in the tight space... He did however impress me by out finishing the horses he was running with... I'm not taking anything away form Oxbow though... He was the best on Saturday · 2 days ago ·

  • illhaveanothertriplecrown · I agree, if he wasnt stuck on the rail, ORB wouldve won. Unfortunately for those that picked him, there's no changing that. If ILL HAVE ANOTHER didn't get hurt, the triple crown drought would be over. I think and hope Orb will show us he is a strong horse the rest of the year. · 2 days ago ·

I still think Orb wins the Belmont. He will be at his home track, comfortable, Rosario will learn from the Preakness, and Orb will be as dangerous as ever.
The Triple Crown series of 2013 has so far provided racing fans with thrills, chills, highs and lows. It almost seems like any other year - that is, until we consider the connections of these three year-old colts.Read More

  • PPRS · Didnt really dawn on me until last night - but after leaving very crowded (thousands) local simulcast facility after the race how quiet it became - the air was sucked out of the place even though many tracks and much more racing going on. Made me realize how horseplayers and the gambling public in general are starving for a Triple Crown winner or at least the excitement of the possibility of one heading to the Belmont. · 3 days ago ·

  • travel_vic · the standardbred community has much more exotic equipment to do the same thing: one that is particularly interesting is a device akin to putting plastic straws perpendicular to the upper circumference of a large shadow roll so the animal has a blocked view at multiple slots ahead and keeps them going forward and not looking at the competition moving up along side of it....Innovative and effective · 4 days ago ·
